Alle Kapitel von His Forbidden Mate: Hiding the Alpha's Secret Heir: Kapitel 31 – Kapitel 36

[Sophie’s POV]The underground infirmary didn’t really feel like a normal medical bay , it was more like the center of a dying star , or at least that’s how it looked in my head. The air was so packed with celestial magic it crackled like static in the air, lifting little strands of hair right off my shoulders.Steel bedframes groaned under strain , and the reinforced concrete walls had glowing fractures, like thin spider veins of light spreading everywhere. And the starlight inside me , the blinding white stuff pouring from my veins felt so intense that Dr. Vance and the nurses had to squint , just to keep their eyes on me."One more push, Luna!" Dr. Vance yelled, his voice barely cutting through the deafening, thrumming roar of the First Moon’s power. "The energy is peaking ! You have to let it out now!"I had nothing left. Not real physical strength. My muscles were ripping, my lungs burning, like I’d swallowed fire and it was chewing its way through me. But I wasn’t pushing with m

[Sophie’s POV]The wail of the sirens didn't just echo; it vibrated through the ruined, blood-soaked foundation of the Steele Estate.For the first time since Dominic had marked me, the fear locked in my chest didn’t have anything to do with supernatural things. Not monsters, not ghosts, not any of that.Witches and vampires run on old rules. You can deal with them with claws, starlight, or whatever. But the blinding searchlights, those sweeping beams slicing through the shattered windows of the infirmary, felt very much like the modern mortal world being done with us."Silas!" Dominic barked, voice raw, still somehow bossy even as he shoved himself off the floor. The black veins were fully gone now, his soul cleaned by our daughter’s light, but his body looked worn out like he’d been dragged through gravel. "Talk to me. Who is out there?"Silas came bursting through the melted infirmary doors, tactical gear smeared with ash. The mercenary looked human-panicked, the kind that tries to

The red emergency lights bathed the subterranean corridor in the color of fresh blood.Commander Thorne’s smug little sneer just… went away, replaced by that rough, animal kind of fear you see in a man who suddenly realizes, yeah he picked the wrong guy to mess with, like a god was suddenly standing right there.Gideon’s throwing knives pinned Thorne to that concrete pillar, and Thorne was scrambling, fingers fumbling, trying to get to the silver sidearm strapped across his chest.He finally managed to unholster it, lining the liquid-cooled barrel straight at Dominic's face, like that would fix anything.Dominic didn’t blink. He didn’t even change his pace, not really.When Thorne pulled the trigger, Dominic moved—fast, blinding, wrong in a way that didn’t feel human. Dominic’s hand shot out, and he didn’t swat the gun away, no , he caught the scorching silver muzzle right on his bare palm.The silver nitrate screamed and hissed against his skin, and the corridor filled up with that s
